Founder & CEO

Patrick Alpaugh, MBA

I'm the founder of Avant — an AI implementation firm built for private equity, venture capital, and family offices. We help save time across the full investment lifecycle — empowering analysts to master AI and work within your existing systems. We also help firms use AI as a lever of value creation within their portfolio companies by building custom software and workflows.

I started Avant after spending the last few years on both sides of the deal table. As an analyst at Massey Capital and Redstick Ventures, I built models, ran diligence, and screened hundreds of companies. As Sales & Customer Success Lead for Nomad Go, I introduced a spatial-AI product to major restaurant brands.

Our mission is simple and urgent: enable PE, VC, and family offices to capture the AI edge — faster, smarter, and with greater return than anyone else thought possible.
